This patch adds implementation of split_huge_page() for new
refcountings.

Unlike previous implementation, new split_huge_page() can fail if
somebody holds GUP pin on the page. It also means that pin on page
would prevent it from bening split under you. It makes situation in
many places much cleaner.

The basic scheme of split_huge_page():

- Check that sum of mapcounts of all subpage is equal to page_count()
plus one (caller pin). Foll off with -EBUSY. This way we can avoid
useless PMD-splits.

- Freeze the page counters by splitting all PMD and setup migration
PTEs.

- Re-check sum of mapcounts against page_count(). Page's counts are
stable now. -EBUSY if page is pinned.

- Split compound page.

- Unfreeze the page by removing migration entries.

This could use some comment or maybe separate preparatory patch?

It's confusing to use page_count(head) in one test and page_count(page) in other, although I know it should be same. Also what if you read a different value because something broke?

+ pr_alert("total_mapcount: %u, page_count(): %u\n",
+ mapcount, page_count(page));

Here you determine page_count(page) again although it could have possibly changed (we are in path where something went wrong already) so you potentially print different value than the one that was tested.


+ if (PageTail(page))
+ dump_page(head, NULL);
+ dump_page(page, "tail_mapcount > page_count(page) - 1");

Here you say "tail_mapcount" which means something else in different places.
Also isn't the whole "else if" test a DEBUG_VM material as well?
